CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute and is a measure of the volume of air moved by a fan per minute. It’s important because it helps determine the fan’s efficiency and suitability for a specific space, ensuring adequate ventilation and air circulation.
The formula to calculate the fan CFM is:
\[ \text{CFM} = \frac{P \times 2122}{p} \]
Where:
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{CFM} = \frac{100 \times 2122}{50} = 4244 \text{ CFM} \]
The CFM is 4244 cubic feet per minute.
